    FT: Tottenham 2-1 Leeds

    Tottenham Hotspur

    More from Conte to BBC Match of the Day about how he feels after three games in charge:

    “It is three weeks I have worked with these players, and for the players with national teams it has only been one week.

    For sure, I think we can improve and improve a lot in many aspects.

    "Also mentally I liked the answer of the players in the second half, especially after the first half when our fans were not satisfied. In these types of situations, a lot of times you go down, confidence goes down."

  3. 'I had a good answer from my players'published at 19:09 Greenwich Mean Time 21 November 2021

    FT: Tottenham 2-1 Leeds

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham boss Antonio Conte, speaking to BBC Match of the Day:

    "The three points are vey important for us. We won a difficult game against Leeds.

    "The first half we struggled a lot with the tactical aspect and physically because they brought intensity in the first half to press us in every area of the pitch.

    "In the second half we changed tactically and the plan

    "We brought maybe a higher intensity than Leeds and created many chances to score two goals and we deserved to win.

    "Leeds, in the first half, they played very well, with intensity, were aggressive and won a lot of tackles. They were also faster on the ball. "In the second half we changed the plan tactically and I’m pleased because I had a good answer from players.

    "From the first minute of the second half the situation was changed, totally. The players were good and confident to play the ball."

  4. 'The result was fair'published at 19:06 Greenwich Mean Time 21 November 2021

    FT: Tottenham 2-1 Leeds

    Leeds United

    Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa, speaking to BBC Match of the Day:

    "In the first half we played better, in the second half they did.

    "The difference in the second half was bigger for them than we managed to achieve in the first half. I think the result was fair.

    "Perhaps if we had drawn the game it would have been a prize for what we constructed in the first half. But as the second half went on they increased the differences compared to us.

    "Even with our absences we played the way we wanted to in the first half. But not being able to play that way in the second half was a problem."

    On his decision to play Kalvin Phillips at the back: "Harry Kane is a forward who likes to drop to pick up the ball. Of our defenders Kalvin is the best to take up that role to deal with him when he drops. He did very well.

    "It's likely we will have more players back next weekend."

    FT: Tottenham 2-1 Leeds

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham boss Antonio Conte, speaking to Sky Sports:

    "In the first half we struggled a lot. Physically, tactically and in our intensity we struggled.

    "I think in the second half we changed things and we wanted to play with the same intensity as Leeds.

    "Before the game I was a bit afraid to know after three weeks the physical condition of the players. If they'd be able to play for the full 90 minutes with the intensity of the second half.

    "I am very pleased, in the second half we deserved to win, we created many chances to score.

    "I said to my players this is a point to start. If we want to build on this.

    "The feeling of the crowd depends on us. In the first half we didn't play well, we lost many tackles. Maybe to concede the goal in the last minute of the first half was good.

    "At half-time the players showed me they could win this game.

    "In the second half I corrected the situation. I look at the stats and Leeds are the best in the league for running. In the second half we beat them in intensity.

    "We won the game, we deserved to win. We played attractive football and the crowd was with us.

    We have the confidence, it's a great feeling. We want to keep changing, we want to change everything."

    FT: Tottenham 2-1 Leeds

    Leeds United

    Leeds boss Marceloa Bielsa, speaking to Sky Sports on playing Kalvin Phillips in the backline:

    “He played very well. In the second half when he played centre back he played well even if it was less minutes than the first. I thought he was the best player to go with Harry Kane when he drops to pick up the ball.

    "At the same time I thought Diego Llorente was best player to follow Son Heung-min's diagonals."

    FT: Tottenham 2-1 Leeds

    Leeds United

    Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips, speaking to Sky Sports:

    [On playing in defence]: "To be honest I don't know why he did it. We wanted to be more defensive with their attacking threat. Me and Liam Cooper went man for man marking.

    "It worked really well in the first half. But in the second half it's just a lack of concentration that hurt us.

    "We needed a better game management. We were 1-0 up in the second half trying to push for a second goal. It's those moments you probably need to pump it long and soak up the pressure.

    "We are missing some very good players in our team, some very important players. It's not an excuse, although we did come here and play some good football.

    "I'm not one for panicking. The way we play football we'll eventually stack some more points on the board."

    On the first half struggles: "The first half was bad for us, also Leeds started really good. At half-time the gaffer said that we have to go with everything. We had a great mentality to win the match.

    On the second-half improvement: “That is the thing that every fan wants to see."

    Spurs came out a different team in the second half. The mindset, the way they attacked, the energy in the team was different. They caused real problems for Leeds, which they will do because of the quality in their front three. All credit to them.
